Probably the best known example of a wiki is Wikipedia – a collaborative encyclopedia covering a wealth of topics.
A wiki page is a bit like a whiteboard. All you need is a marker pen and you can change the content of the whiteboard. On a wiki page, just search for the edit link and you can change the page contents directly from your web browser.
Unlike a whiteboard, however, a wiki will store a history of page changes so you can see how a page has changed over time, and can bring back an old version if you want to.
A wiki website is built up of interlinked wiki pages. It is easy to create new pages.
Get your own wiki! You can get your own free Wiki at a site called Wikispaces.
